Woooooo

Bursts of low sobs came into Qin Ran's ears with the night wind, and suddenly, one mental judgment after another appeared on Qin Ran's retina.

The surrounding monsters that were eating the corpses scattered and fled the moment the sobs rang out.

Some managed to escape.

However, most of them are spinning in place.

Obviously, such a monster did not pass the mental judgment.

And then?

A tattered cloak, holding the skeleton of a baby in its arms, slowly emerged from the darkness, and the cry came from under the cloak.

The bones of babies swayed from side to side as each other moved, making creaking and crunching sounds.

As it walked past a monster that was gnawing at a corpse, the monster the size of a calf, black as a jackal, and with spikes on its back, let out a whimper.

Then, a translucent, pale white mist emerged from the monster and burrowed into the nostrils of the baby's bones.

A blue-green soul fire lit up deep in the eye sockets of the baby's bones.

Twinkle and twinkle.

It's like a mouth when you chew.

Syllable!

The monster staggered to the ground, instantly out of breath, and its entire body turned into a puddle of mud that smelled of the sea.

Afterwards?

There are no exceptions.

That's true of every monster.

After dozens of piles of mud on the ground, the phantom holding the baby's bones was not satisfied.

The sobs grew louder and louder.

The soul fire on the baby's bones grew brighter and brighter, and in this darkness, it seemed like a torch.

They're looking for something more palatable.

In the same way, there are other things that are looking for the same thing.

In the shadows, Qin Ran looked up at the sky on the left, and then, without a trace, glanced at the ground where the phantom was standing.

The next moment-

Woo!

A gust of wind wrinkled, and in the dark sky, a black shadow that was completely integrated into it, swooped down in the air.

A pair of wings spread out more than ten meters, allowing the other party's speed to reach an extreme, so that the phantom was swallowed into the belly by the blood basin without any reaction, but when the black shadow spread its wings and was about to fly.

Rumble!

The earth shook, and several thick tentacles emerged from the ground, dragging the black shadow deep into the ground like a python.

Crunchy!

The crisp sound of chewing was heard all around.

Make the monsters that gnawed at the corpses in the first place run faster and farther.

It also made the other monsters hidden in this ruin make the wisest choice.

In Qin Ran's perception, hundreds of strong or weak auras stayed away from here, as if they had completely acknowledged the underground monster's control over this area.

"Primitive hunting grounds?"

A trace of solemnity flashed in Qin Ran's eyes.

The monsters in the underground are nothing to him at the moment.

But in the same way, the position occupied by the other party is nothing more than the most ordinary street near the docklands in Navia City.

And there are dozens of such streets in the docks of Navia City, not counting the largest.

What's more, it's just a remote dockland in the middle of Navia.

What would the larger plebeian quarter, the more prosperous and wealthy district, the more refined council quarter, and the temple district at the heart of Navia City?

Especially the temple area!

Although the various temples took most of their contents with them when they were evacuated at the beginning, the hasty evacuation was destined to make it impossible to take all of them.

Something left behind is bound to attract enough guys to eyeing it there.

And the monster in the ground in front of him didn't go there at all, and he didn't even have the intention of moving his body, which was enough to inform Qin Ran: within two days, the territory of the core area of Navia City had already been divided.

"It's a pity."

After Qin Ran's slightly regretful gaze swept over the temple area shrouded in darkness, he discerned the direction, and the whole person melted into the night.

If he had enough time, Qin Ran didn't mind going to the temple area to investigate.

Whether it was the remnants of the various temples, or the temples that were bound to be entrenched with monsters, they were all of considerable value to Qin Ran.

But unfortunately, not only did he not have enough time, but he could even be said to be racing against time to catch up with the evacuating team.

The city of Navia is overrun by monsters.

And Qin Ran is sure that this is definitely not all monsters.

The people who had evacuated before, both themselves and the precious items they carried, were enough to attract quite a few monsters to chase after them.

And the 'followers' mixed in with the evacuation procession!

The latter will cause far more damage than the former.

As for the 'Devourer'?

Qin Ran believed that once the 'Devourer' reappeared, the evacuation team would suffer a devastating blow, just like Navia City.

And this is something that Qin Ran absolutely does not want to see.

He had so much to know.

"Hopefully it won't be the worst!"

With such anticipation, Qin Ran raised his hand [Shadow Ride] and appeared in front of him, and after the power of the origin of chaos trembled slightly, the position of the [Shadow Ride] headlight immediately lit up with a scarlet light,

Stomp, stomp!

The [Shadow Rider], which had changed from a motorcycle frame to a pitch-black mechanical war horse, bent its front legs in front of Qin Ran.

This time, Qin Ran jumped on the horse without hesitation.

Herod!

With a neighing that was no different from that of a real war horse, the [Shadow Rider] carried Qin Ran into the darkness.

……

The huge and bloated convoy moved slowly in the night.

The cold wind of the night blew on everyone's panicked faces, even the chief priests and high priests of the various temples, and even more.

Because, two days ago, they completely lost contact with their 'God'.

No matter how much I prayed, there was not the slightest response.

And now the only thing that sustains them from collapsing is the oracle given to them by their respective 'gods' when they leave.

This oracle became the last support for the chief priests and high priests.

"No!"

"I disagree!"

"We're going north!"

Edson, the former elder priest and the new chief priest of the Temple of Thorns, said categorically in a large carriage.

And in this gently moving carriage, except for the Thunder Temple, the 'fires' reserved by each temple are there.

Harvest, forgiveness, thorns, war, bravery, love, hunters, music, and so on, twenty-two nominal stewards of this convoy.

They discussed their own path.

"Our god told us to go south!"

The High Priest of the Hunter Temple said in a low and powerful voice.

"That's right!"

"We also got such an oracle!"

"Yes!"

"So do we!"

……

In addition to the Temple of Love and Music and the Temple of Harvest, Forgiveness, War, and Valorant, the remaining temples have spoken.

The former also disagrees.

"Our god told us to go to the West!"

"And, there's no time to wait!"

The High Priest of the Temple of Harvest, Forgiveness, War, and Valor spoke.

"Our god told us to follow the Temple of Thorns."

Fanny, the High Priestess of the Temple of Love, said.

"We also have the same oracle!"

The High Priest of the Temple of Music replied.

And then......

Everyone stopped talking.

They looked at each other.

Their belief in the 'gods' makes it impossible for them to assert themselves.

Parting ways is inevitable.

However, the more troublesome things have just begun.

Rumble!

The sudden explosion made the wide carriage tremble.

The faces of all the people in the carriage changed.

Those monsters are catching up!
